Im involved in an online RPG with some toy soldier buddies at the moment. Its a lovingly prepared framework of shenanigans with the express purpose of encouraging us all to try to make each other laugh, in spaaace. My character – L’Oreal Wangst: Eldar Outcast psychically bonded with a gyrinx recently, so I decided to paint one to match.

This was of course engineered by the GM, who knew that if he put a space cat in the game that I would go for it and that I would likely paint a model for it. So I was either manipulated in an embarassingly transparent fashion or it was simply a win/win situation. I choose to see it as the latter.

Cassis the Gyrinx. The photo is a bit grainy, sorry. Its a tiny model though: thats a 20mm diameter base.

“Cassis” was the smallest miniature feline that I could find in my “Familiars” box. I cant even remember where I got it (if you know then please comment). I think that its technically a “vampire cat”, hence the larger teeth than usual, barely visible in the grainy photo above. Frankly the teeth are barely visible in hand either…
